Reading Reminder:

Our goal is for every child to develop a love of reading. To become a fluent reader one must practice as much as possible. Our students are assigned to 2 times per week for at least 30 minutes each time outside of the school day. Your child will have a reading log to keep up with for the nine weeks grading period to record what was read.

Please remember to take time to review their vocabulary during the week.
